President Donald Trump is reviving his call for a national voter ID system as the country heads into the midterm election and the president eyes his own reelection campaign. Trump was railing against the idea of noncitizens voting and advocating stricter voting laws when he claimed that IDs are required for everything else, including shopping. He was trying to tell supporters that tighter laws would stop people who aren't USA citizens from voting, and in his argument added that people need IDs for most other things.

"If you go out and you want to buy groceries, you need a picture on a card, you need ID". "You go out and you want to buy anything, you need ID and you need your picture".

Shoppers do need IDs to buy alcohol, some medicines and cigarettes.

Trump also criticized Democrats who oppose his nominee for the Supreme Court, Brett Kavanaugh, and said voters need to elect more Republicans.

And his 2016 rallies there, in the former coal mining region that came to represent the Democratic former union workers who turned out for Trump in droves, were among the most frenzied and frenetic of his presidential bid.

DeSantis is endorsed by Trump and makes no secret of his affection for the president. They waved signs that featured Trump's new campaign slogan 'Keep America Great, ' 'Trump, Pence, ' 'Women for Trump, ' and 'Blacks for Trump'.

The deliberations could be a sign that Trump is looking to intensify pressure in the trade stand-off with Beijing even if it could significantly drive up costs on a wide range of products for American consumers. Trump was advocating for voter ID requirements at a Tampa, Florida, rally on Tuesday when he claimed the only time people don't need ID is when they want to vote.
